cloud-sql-basics

This file generates or explains Cloud SQL resources. Use this file when the user asks to create a Cloud SQL instance or database for MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server. Cloud SQL manages third-party MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server instances as resources in Cloud SQL. For example, when Cloud SQL creates an open-source MySQL instance, the resulting resource is a Cloud SQL for MySQL instance that Google Cloud manages. Cloud SQL handles backups, high availability, and secure connectivity for relational database workloads.
